Invited for this month's cover picture is the group of Prof . Dr. M . M. Shaijumon and co‐worker Dr. Binson Babu, at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram, India. The cover picture illustrates the superior Na‐ion diffusion characteristics of highly crystalline brown TiO2 nanostructures compared to their low crystalline counterparts. The dependence of crystallinity of nanostructured brown TiO2 anodes on their Na‐ion kinetics, and diffusion characteristics are analyzed using different electrochemical techniques. The present study provides a deeper understanding of Na‐ion intercalation/de‐intercalation mechanism in these materials, benefiting their practical deployment.
